Intern Application Developer - ServiceNow

Introduction

As an IBM Consulting Future Now Center Intern, you'll work alongside experienced professionals to help solve real business and technology challenges for clients around the world. You'll gain hands-on experience, build in-demand technical and professional skills, and contribute to meaningful projects while learning in a collaborative, team-based environment.

This internship is designed to provide meaningful, hands-on experience that prepares students for a potential full-time career with IBM Consulting upon graduation.

In this role, you'll work in one of our IBM Consulting Future Now Centers , where we deliver deep technical and industry expertise to a wide range of public and private sector clients around the world. Our delivery centers offer our clients locally based skills and technical expertise to drive innovation and adoption of new technology.

Your role and responsibilities

At IBM, you'll learn from experienced technology professionals while gaining hands-on experience with modern software development and consulting practices.

During your internship, you may have opportunities to:

• Collaborate Across Teams:
  Work with cross-functional teams to understand requirements, define technical solutions, and contribute to project delivery.
• Design & Document Solutions:
  Create technical specifications and document design decisions to support effective communication and collaboration.
• Build High-Quality Software:
  Develop scalable, reusable code and participate in code reviews and software quality practices.
• Develop Modern Applications:
  Contribute to cloud-native and full-stack applications using technologies such as databases, operating systems, cloud platforms, and modern UI frameworks, with a focus on user experience, performance, security, and quality.

You may assist with application configuration, workflow development, testing, integrations, documentation, and continuous improvement activities while learning how Service Now solutions translate business requirements into automated enterprise workflows

You don't need experience with every technology listed above. Many interns join IBM with a foundation in computer science, software engineering, or related technical disciplines and develop specialized expertise through mentorship, structured learning, certifications, hands-on projects, and AI-enabled tools.

Throughout your internship, you'll gain exposure to software engineering, cloud technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Dev Ops, Agile, and enterprise application development, while working with experienced engineers, architects, and technology professionals on real client projects across multiple industries.

High-performing interns may be considered for full-time Associate opportunities following graduation, based on business needs and individual performance.

To give yourself the best opportunity for success, we advise applying only to roles that align with your skills and experience, rather than applying broadly across all entry-level positions. You'll receive a status update email for each application, so be sure to check your IBM Careers account regularly - it's the best way to get a centralized view of which roles you have active applications against.

The primary internship program dates are May to July 2027 (10 weeks).
